A west Houston woman's pole dancing ended in disaster after the pole hit a fire sprinkler and flooded her and a neighbor's apartment. Asha Gilbert was filming herself in her living room as she followed along to a pole dance workout tutorial. Right as she begins spinning on the pole, the top dislodges from the ceiling and hits a fire sprinkler, causing water to shoot everywhere. "Immediately, I'm in shock because I'm like, 'Oh my gosh, this cannot be happening to me,'" said Gilbert. The pole was a recent addition to Gilbert's living room. She says a colleague had given it to her just three days prior. "He was like, 'Hey, I have this pole, I'm giving it away. Do you want it?' And I'm like, 'Yeah, absolutely I want it.," Gilbert said. But when she and a friend installed it, they didn't anchor it to the ceiling. Instead, they relied on the pole's natural tension between ceiling and floor. "It wasn't even a thought that it could possibly hit the sprinkler," Gilbert said. "We were more worried about it hitting a wall." Much of Gilbert's furniture was ruined, and she had to move to a different apartment. She said the water also seeped into a downstairs neighbor's unit. "I explained everything, and she was very, very cool and understanding, and I appreciated that," said Gilbert.
